Someone is offering me an IBM Series/1 minicomputer
with all manuals, an
8" diskette drive, and a CDC Hard disk, for $100 plus shipping. Shipping
for the processor will be about $25, and between $50 and $75 for the
diskette drive. Shipping for the hard disk will be hundreds, so I won't
be getting it. I have three questions:
You should try to get the system in its completeness. To leave the hard
drive behind would be unfortunate.
Have you explored alternate modes of shipping, such as Forward Air?

Have you considered driving to go pick it up? Have you considered having
another list member retrieve the hard drive?
